Accessibility

Northbridge Industrial Services plc is committed to making this website accessible for the widest audience, regardless of technology or ability. All reasonable adjustments are being made in order to make this website as accessible as possible and we have built the site with the following in mind:

the web pages are designed to be viewed on a wide range of screen resolutions;

we have used text and background colour combinations that are sufficient in contrast;

the page structure is easy to navigate by using a clear and user friendly menu that is visible on each page of the site and uses HTML headings;

Cascading Style Sheets control the presentation of pages and we have used properly structured markup for content. If style sheets are not supported or are turned off, information on the site can still be accessed and read;

the use of JavaScript has been kept to a minimum. Where it is used then all pages are still accessible should JavaScript be turned off;

all forms and fields follow a logical tab sequence to ensure easy navigation; and

a sitemap is available to provide information about the layout of the website.

We believe that this website meets the requirements of the level 1 and 2 criteria of the World Wide Web Consortium Web Accessibility Initiative (WCAG WAI) 2.0 guidelines and we constantly strive to meet level 3 whenever possible, as although we adhere to the accepted standards for accessibility and usability whenever we can, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the website, especially where guidelines are still evolving. That said we continue to review our solutions in line with updates to accepted accessibility guidelines and standards.
